We’re excited to start the new year off strong with a CEOdinner on the first Wednesday of winter quarter. If you’ve been divided between pursuing further education and starting a company (our guest did both!) or are curious about the workings of the Internet, be sure to attend! We’ll be joined by Matt Kraning, co-founder and CTO at Qadium. Matt completed his BS in Physics, MS in EE, and PhD in EE – all at Stanford. He then worked at Darpa for a couple of years before starting Qadium, a company that is poised to be one of the most important of this generation. Qadium indexes all devices connected to the Internet, which is proving to be extremely valuable, especially with the rise of the Internet of Things. Should be an awesome conversation!

We are super excited to have Noah Ready-Campbell for the CEODinner series this week! A TBP member himself, he is the co-founder and CEO of Twice, a fashion retailing company that was acquired by Ebay last year, and is now working on his next idea. As a young founder, his perspective in building a new company is extremely valuable for all of us who are deciding between working for large companies, and starting our own adventures.

Mar Hershenson, Managing Partner at early stage venture fund Pejman Mar Ventures, will be joining us for dinner next week. An awesome guest (https://goo.gl/KV8Rkw) and free dinner (http://goo.gl/GajZ5n) — what more could you ask for. An incredible personality and a true innovator, she made it on this year’s Midas Brink List: http://goo.gl/rs8Xuu

We’re very excited to have Amos Elliston join us for dinner next week! Amos co-founded several companies on social networking for families and enterprise, before becoming the CTO of Flexport. Flexport is a global freight shipment management platform, and has significantly changed supply chain efficiency and control for global companies.
